Weekend Audubon Park 5K Breast Cancer Walk Earns $155K

A crew from Nola.com joined nearly 3,000 other participants at the American Cancer Society's 2007 annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event at Audubon Park that raised $155,000. The inspirational walk celebrated breast cancer survivors and served to educate women about the importance of early detection and prevention of the disease.

Money raised will be used to fund research, to provide continually updated breast cancer information and ensure that all women can have access to breast cancer screening and treatment, regardless of their economic standing.
